Dell 4K monitor priced at only $699

Dell's much-anticipated 4K monitor arrives with a very keen price

Dell plans to sell its long-awaited 4K monitor for only $699, the company has revealed at CES 2014.

Last year the company announced it would be offering the 28in "Ultra HD" P2815Q screen for less than $1,000. Now it's come in some way below that mark, with a final US price of $699, according to a report by Forbes. UK pricing wasn't available at the time of publication.

The screen has a resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 and will launch globally on 23 January.

Other specifications are currently thin on the ground, with Dell merely confirming that the screen will tilt, pivot and swivel, and that it will have multiple connections for "smartphones, tablets, laptops and PCs," without confirming exactly what they are.

Our team on the ground at CES in Las Vegas should be able to bring you more details later this week.

It needs display port at least, or HDMI 1.4. VGA and normal HDMI found on most graphics cards won't do it.DVI-D is also not up to the task, it can theoretically drive that resolution, but at a maximum of 17hz.Dual Link DVI can theoretically drive it at 33Hz.I'd look to it having Display Port and HDMI 1.4, plus maybe Thunderbolt. Most Dell machines and monitors have been Display Port first for a while now.Intel keep going on about how the BayTrail Atom can playback 4K video, although nobody has produced an Atom based PC that drives anything beyond 1080p, so I don't know how that works...But I would guess most Core processors will be able to drive it, assuming they have DisplayPort on the motherboard.
